From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 173 Heading to Dongda University
Back in his office, Zhou Yi continued to study Goldbach's conjecture.

After eating lunch and Zhou Yi woke up from his lunch break,
While looking at the reviewed papers, he was on the phone with Cao De, planning to find out about the situation.

Not long after, the phone was connected.

Zhou Yi said:

"Hello, Academician Cao, I'm Zhou Yi."

Cao De said:

"Haha, Zhou Yi, I finally waited until you called me. Did Mr. Qiu tell you about the asphalt road project?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Teacher Qiu told me, so I'm going to come to find out the situation, because I will probably have to teach next semester, and I will have much less time then."

Cao De said:

"Then briefly talk about the current situation. This project is a transformative project we got after the establishment of the National Applied Mathematics Research Center three or four years ago."

Zhou Yi said on the phone:
"Academician Cao, please continue."

Cao De said:

"I don't know if you understand, our highways or asphalt roads in some places are usually repaired for a minor repair every ten years, and a major repair every 15 years. The average annual maintenance fund for this project is about 1000 billion.

Therefore, we need to improve the service life of asphalt roads and expressways. This is actually a key technology that we are stuck in abroad. "

Zhou Yi asked:

"So what is the service life of our domestic asphalt roads or expressways? How much is it abroad?"

Cao De said:

"Over 20 years abroad, but only 10 to 15 years in our country, we checked a lot of information and literature, and also looked at their data and mathematical models, the main reason is that the mathematical mechanism is not clear, the mathematical model is not reliable, we need to re- Build a mathematical model and get a better mathematical model than before."

Holding the phone, Zhou Yi used the mouse to mark out the unreasonable parts of the review papers, and said thoughtfully:
"I'm afraid it will have to be solved with transformative artificial intelligence algorithms."

When Cao De heard what Zhou Yi said in Dongda, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. Is this the talent of a mathematical genius?

Regarding the sensitivity of the application, it is really amazing.

Although I had seen it when I worked with Zhou Yi before, I was still very shocked to see this kind of talent when I cooperated with Zhou Yi again.

Cao De said:

"Yes, that's right, how about Zhou Yi, do you want to join our project? Once this project is improved, it will benefit more people."

Cao De was afraid that Zhouyi would disagree, so he continued:
"The journals and contributions made by this project can add qualifications for you to select academicians of the two academies in the future, stop others' mouths, and secondly, there will be corresponding bonuses, but there is definitely no Bill Zhouyi Theorem or 3n+1 Zhouyi Theorem. Lots of bonuses."

Zhou Yi said:

"Well, does the patent involved in it belong to oneself or to the country?"

Zhou Yi felt that it probably involved not only mathematics, but also physics and chemistry.

At that time, there will inevitably be a lot of patents.

Cao De was taken aback, and said:

"I'll give it to you, but this is a strategic-level technology, and it's impossible to spread it to the outside world."

Zhou Yi was silent for a while, indeed, unless it is applied to other countries, then Zhou Yi said:
"Oh, that's good. After five days, after I finish reviewing the manuscript, I can join your team. The manuscript about Zhou's Geometry has not been reviewed yet."

Cao De said:

"Haha, it's not bad for a few days. Anyway, this is a long-term project, and it will definitely not be completed in a short time. But one thing to say, you may bring us a great surprise after you come."

Now it's the end of the semester, Zhou Yi should have nothing to do during the winter vacation, Zhou Yi thinks that he might go to Dongda.

Just when Zhou Yi was about to hang up the phone, Cao De said again:
"In fact, this technology is very useful. It not only strengthens the transportation hub in the southwest region, but also prolongs the life of the roads in the west region.

It is better to advance some of our strategic goals along Southwest Asia. Sometimes it is not realistic to rely on trains and high-speed rail alone.
Cars are still the workhorse of delivery today.And it can also be applied in Black (f) Continent to earn their raw materials or money. "

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"OK, all right."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi thought about what Academician Cao said, and at the same time thought about this project. As Academician Cao said, I'm afraid it's not just about saving 1000 billion in maintenance costs every year, but deeper things are the key.

such as national influence.

Technological changes will inevitably cause considerable influence.

It's just that Zhou Yi still doesn't know which sector the mathematical knowledge involved in it belongs to.

Just three days after Zhou Yi reviewed the manuscript, Milno made a transoceanic phone call to Zhou Yi.

"Hello, Zhouyi? I'm Mirno."

The other end of the phone said with a hint of excitement.

Zhou Yi followed up on the phone and said:
"Teacher, it's me, I'm Zhouyi."

"I have good news for you. Your thesis will be published in the Annals of Mathematics today after reviewing the manuscript. Congratulations Zhouyi, another world-class conjecture has been promoted to a theorem, and it will be named as a theorem under your name. "

Milno said with a happy tone.

Zhou Yi quickly said:

"Thank you teacher for taking the trouble to call me so late."

With the current time difference, it is probably early in the evening.

"Haha, did old man Qiu tell you that the Sloan Research Award in February will be awarded to you in the field of mathematics."

Milno laughed.

Zhou Yi said:

"It will definitely come."

"Haha, the New Horizons Award in Mathematics and the Breakthrough Award in Mathematics will also be awarded to you this year. Unless they don't care about rigor and authority, they will definitely not be able to escape. One award is 300 million magnesium gold, and two awards are 600 million. Magnesium gold, you are going to get rich, haha."

Mirno remembered something and continued.

Zhou Yi said:

"Not sure yet, how could it be so fast."

Milno said with a smile:
"It's coming soon. I heard that the Breakthrough Award and the New Vision Award were going to be awarded to two people. I talked to Deligne and old man Qiu, and they began to hesitate. So it has been delayed until now.

After all, you have solved many big mathematical conjectures, opened up a new branch of geometry, created the bible of number theory, Zhou's analytical method, and won the Philippine Prize. Why are there two mathematics awards that are lower than the Philippine Prize? Can't take it off. "

Zhou Yi's heart warmed when he heard this, and sure enough, the three great teachers behind him supported him, and they were much tougher than others in winning awards.

According to the habit of ordinary people, it is estimated that it will be developed separately year by year. Since its establishment, there has been no precedent for anyone who has won two mathematics awards at the same time. However, the three big bosses and some other colleagues have spoken, and it is not a problem to issue two awards a year. .

Zhou Yi said:

"Thank you teacher for your trouble."

"Haha don't bother, you should have taken it, but it's a bit amazing. With your talent, it's worth such a shocking moment!"

Mirno never stopped smiling. There is nothing more fulfilling than bringing an outstanding apprentice.

The key point is that this apprentice is different from one of Qiu Chengtong's apprentices, hehe.

"Haha, that's it, old man, I'm going to sleep."

Milnor said.

"Good teacher, goodbye teacher."

Zhou Yi said with great respect.

Even after graduating now, Zhou Yi is still enjoying the convenience they brought.

Zhou Yi was thinking, if he didn't go there to study for a Ph. D., he would have won two Science Breakthrough Awards a year, maybe he could get one of them, and the other one will be announced next year. Of course, he might still be able to get two awards a year.

Known as the "Oscars of Science", the Breakthrough Prize aims to honor the research achievements of the world's top physics, mathematics and life scientists.

It was established in 2012 by Tsarist Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and his wife. Now it is co-founded by Guge co-founder Sergey Brin, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, and Penguin co-founder Mr. Ma , Yuri Milner and his wife, and gene technology company 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki and other well-known industrialists sponsored.

The Science Breakthrough Awards include Life Science Breakthrough Prize, Fundamental Physics Breakthrough Prize, Mathematics Breakthrough Prize, New Horizons in Physics Prize, New Horizons in Mathematics Prize, and Youth Challenge Breakthrough Prize.

The "Science Breakthrough Award" has a single prize of up to 300 million U.S. dollars, and its prize money far exceeds that of the Nobel Prize, but its authority, professionalism, and popularity are far inferior to the Nobel Prize.

But money is a real thing, isn't it?

For those who do pure numbers and pure theoretical physics, in addition to salary, these bonuses are undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi immediately logged on to the campus network of Shuimu University to check the latest published papers in the Annual Journal of Mathematics.

Sure enough, Zhou Yi's paper has been published.

And my own account also increased by 756 million RMB in the first time.

Zhou Yi looked at the number of the bank card, and unknowingly, it has reached 600 million in the past half a year.

The 1600 million is mainly the more than 3 million magnesium gold provided by Bill's Zhouyi Theorem and 1n+200 Zhouyi Theorem.

The rest of the awards offer bonuses that add up to only around 10 mg.

Zhou Yi is thinking about buying a house in Yuzhou?
I don't know if I can afford a house in Shangjing.

Supposed to be enough.

I live in the teacher's apartment provided by Shuimu University in Shangjing, so I don't seem to need to buy a house. Yuzhou also has the teacher's apartment provided by Yuda, so there is no need to buy a house.

Food, lodging, and medical examinations are all in charge of the state, and there is no need to pay for them yourself. Except for some clothes and daily necessities, Zhou Yi really has no place to spend money.

As if the 1000 million yuan was really useless, Zhou Yi clicked his tongue secretly.

For the first time, I felt that money was useless.

It seems like you can buy a car.

Zhou Yi secretly said.

But it’s not necessary, you will pay for it wherever you go, and electric cars on campus are basically enough.

At this time, many marketing accounts have already released the news that the Zhouyi paper has reached the top of the Annual Mathematics Journal.

Looking at all the papers in the Annals of Mathematics, excluding the two papers currently published by Zhou Yi, there are only eleven people who have published in the Annals of Mathematics with the nationality of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Not long ago, it was published by a researcher of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The associate researcher also studied for a Ph.D. for 7 years because of a change of direction, but after many years of hard work, he finally reached the top of the Annual Journal of Mathematics.

Coupled with his identity in a family of mathematics, he will inevitably be an academician of the Academy of Sciences in the future.

So the news that Zhou Yi once again reached the top of the Annual Mathematics has become hot again.

Many people commented on Zhouyi Bibo and Douyin:
[Zhou Shen's Annual Mathematics is like drinking water, and I'm still losing my hair to publish a core article. 】

[Visually guessing that God Zhou is going to advertise, let me come up with a line for God Zhou, do you want to think about the Annual Mathematics?The next research assistant. 】

[Zhou Shen's net worth should be in the tens of millions, and the two world-class number theory conjectures are both in the millions of magnesium, and he is properly tall, rich and handsome. Can I be your girlfriend? I can do anything. 】

[What is it called God of Zhou, big guts, Professor Zhou!dog head dog head. 】

Zhou Yi looked at the comment area, the proof of the 3n+1 conjecture was just published, and there was nothing worth posting a scarf on.

It's not too late to pretend to be a Sloan Research Award.

Putting down the phone, Zhou Yi continued to review manuscripts, and there were still more than a dozen accumulated papers that could be reviewed. As for the papers for the lottery, Zhou Yi asked Peony to correct them.

Peony has been browsing in various journals from its birth to the present, and it is a trivial matter to give some pointers to the papers drawn by the lottery.

Moreover, Peony is extraordinarily rigorous in academics, and every error in a symbol will be picked out, so it would be better for Peony to give guidance.

Moreover, Peony will publish fake journals in medical journals every 20 days, and it is extremely picky about the papers.

It is more than enough to hold it accountable.

Today's medical masters and doctors and various institutions dare not make fakes at all. Once they make fakes, they will definitely be published by that mysterious peony Twitter account.

The most irritating thing is that they demanded that the Twitter official account be banned, but the Twitter official is not a fool. This is for the benefit of all mankind, and it can also bring popularity to Twitter. How can it be possible to ban the account.

Three days later, Zhou Yi finally dealt with all the matters, and all the accumulated manuscripts were reviewed.

Guidance will also be given for all the papers in the lottery.

"Finally, the review is over. When I win the Sloan Research Award, I plan to start a journal myself. Then I will ask three teachers to help me speak on the platform. It will be a mathematics journal above District 2."

Zhou Yi muttered,

"If you don't go to Dongda, it would be inconvenient to video with them here, and many core materials cannot be freely transmitted online."

In the end, Zhou Yi thought for a long time before deciding to go directly to Dongda University, trying to solve this problem as soon as possible, and then move on to the next project.

As the end of the year approached, Zhou Yi felt a little anxious.

There are still many things to do after the new year.

Of my five tasks, none of them have been completed, and all of them are in progress.

Even mission three, regarding the direction of physics, there is no movement at all.

Not long after, Zhou Yi booked the air ticket, and then made a phone call,

"Hello, Academician Cao? I'm Zhou Yi."

Cao De said:

"What's the matter? Zhou Yi."

"I've read the data and various mathematical models you gave me before, but I haven't read some core materials and I can't make a judgment. I plan to come to Dongda to participate together."

Zhou Yi directly stated his purpose.

Cao De was overjoyed when he heard this, and said:
"Okay, I'll ask Yuan Zhen to pick you up at the airport. When will you take the plane, you should keep the invoice well, and you will be able to repay it when the time comes. After all, this is serving the country and the people."

Zhou Yi said:

"Tomorrow's plane, there is no ticket today, and it will arrive like this at noon."

"Okay, I'll ask Yuan Zhen to pick you up."

Cao De said happily.

The next day, Zhou Yi came to this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties again.

The heavy feeling of history gave people an indescribable feeling. Zhou Yi followed Yuan Zhen and took a taxi to the special apartment where Zhou Yi had stayed before.

"God Zhou, when we meet again, I didn't expect you to be so hard to look at."

Yuan Zhen said with an adoring tone.

Yuan Zhen can still vividly remember the scene of the last ICCM International Mathematicians Conference and the scene when Zhou Yi solved the power grid.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shen is back now!

Their project is saved!
